     There are many things here at UMPI that you can Sync yourself into. In the past, there were big things such as Variety Shows and Stand-Up Comedians. UMPI also has had small things such as an event where you can build your own snow globe. UMPI has held multiple popular events where people got to perform. One of these popular events was the second annual Lip Sync Battle. This year\u2019s Lip Sync Battle had winners in two categories. The group performance saw the UMPI Women\u2019s Volleyball Team take the win.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This year\u2019s Lip Sync Battle saw fewer performances compared with last year\u2019s show.  Even though there were fewer performances, they were worth watching. One of the people in the crowd was UMPI student Serena Lufkin. This was the first time Serena had attended the Lip Sync Battle. Serena said, \u201cIt was crazy fun.\u201d She wishes she had gone to last year\u2019s show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Sam Morton once again hosted the Lip Sync battle. She thought that there was definitely a bigger crowd this year. This was a crowd that had more excitement than last year\u2019s. When it came to the winner for the solo performance, Sam said, \u201cIt was a little bit crazy.\u201d This was due to the fact that the audience seemed to prefer one act over another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     The solo winner of this year\u2019s Lip Sync Battle was UMPI student Aubrey Sinclair by a close one. She was able to give last year\u2019s winner a run for his money. Aubrey decided to perform because it terrifies her. Aubrey said, \u201cI have an odd habit of seeing something that makes me nervous and doing it.\u201d She credits Bob the Drag Queen for influencing her performance. He did a similar performance and Aubrey wanted to add her own thing to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Aubrey was glad to bring joy to others through laughter. She thought highly of the other performers as well. She said, \u201cThe others were so fun that it was truly a surprise to win.\u201d She has also started planning for next year\u2019s performance. Aubrey plans on creating something original to top this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     This year\u2019s Lip Sync Battle was definitely an upgrade from last year\u2019s. There was more energy from the performers and the crowd. This year\u2019s winning acts could have been anyone who was up there. Now we can look forward to seeing a truly in sync show next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
